lyrics

A crescent moon hung low in the sky
The first star was close at hand
in the winter trees, two last birds sang their last hurrah
And there's nothing in the mailbox but a rumour

I sat on the balcony for a while
And I read about the latest bad news
Murder and suicide and chaos they rule the world now

But in truth, my mind was far away
An echo of guilt rolled across my heart
What game am I playing now cos there's always a game
What game are we playing now?

What can you hear in my voice?
What news does my lover bring?
What can you hear in my voice?

The valley of Shangri-la, sometimes it seems so close
But can it ever be regained?
Was it only a trick of the light
Or a fine piece of stagecraft

What can you hear in my voice?
What news does my lover bring?
What can you hear in my voice?
